Reading, 'riting and the rules of democracy: these are some of the interests of American youth, with special emphasis on the third subject during this election year.
Not only at Heights, but all across the country, high school students have flocked to help the causes of their favorite candidates. They've passed out campaign literature, pressed numberless doorbells and have done all those little, but necessary, labors that are part of modern politics.
On the other hand, members of the Class of June 1965 have taken upon themselves not to support a specific candidate, but to stump the area for democracy itself. They hope to see more Cleveland Heights residents exercise their right to vote than every before.
This class project is a worthy one. There is no election issue more important than whether or not Americans will continue to be active citizens, with full voting powers undiminished by disuse. If the seniors are able to encourage more people to go to the polls November 3, they will be doing their country a great service.
Even though they cannot vote, teenagers are taking a tremendous interest in this election. They have their political opinions and more important, they are working hard to promote them, something many adults are reluctant to do.
With this sort of citizen waiting to become 21, America had much to look forward to in her future.
